Xavier Dumplings

Xavier Dumplings are Italian. They are classic Parmesan cheese dumplings.

 

 You will need a buttered cookie sheet.

 

 Ingredients:

 

6 oz flour

1/3 cup butter

6 oz Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

pinch of salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 egg

1 egg yolk

Combine the flour, butter and parmesan cheese in a saucepan over low heat.
Stir until the butter has melted and is incorporated into the cheese and flour.
Add the cream a little at a time until you have a solid dough. 
Remove from the heat and work in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg and egg yolk. 
It should be like a very soft dough that you could pipe out of a frosting bag.
Either put the dough into a pastry bag and pipe out pea size amounts onto the baking sheet or drop pea size amounts from a spoon onto the sheet. 
Let them stand for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring some salted water to a boil.
Drop in the dumplings and cook for 5 minutes.
Drain.


Add to the soup or stew of your choice.
